Tianlong: Starting with Mantuo Manor as fertilizer

Chapter 60 Pills

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan's lips curled into a smirk.

"Who do you think it is?"

"So it was that green-haired bastard Zhong Wanchou!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Ling was instantly enraged and shouted at Xie and Duan.

"Don't interfere, I'm going to teach this old man a lesson today!"

"Take this!"

With a flick of her wrist, Zhong Lingyu sent two venomous snakes slithering out, seemingly exhausted.

Seeing that the useless snake was no use, she patted the pouch at her waist, preparing to release her trump card, the lightning weasel.

Unexpectedly, Sikong Xuan acted even faster.

With his left hand, he swung his knife to slay the snake, while his right hand shot out like lightning, instantly striking Zhong Ling's pressure point.

"You are Zhong Wanchou's daughter. If you release some evil poisonous creature and it bites us, it will be very bad."

The Dharma protector, who was already awake, whispered a reminder.

"Boss, Ma Wang Shen Zhong Wan Chou is not someone to be trifled with. He used to have a nickname: 'Kill Anyone He Sees.' If he finds out we've made things difficult for his daughter, I'm afraid there will be serious consequences."

Sikong Xuan sneered: "Do you think I don't know that Old Turtle Zhong is difficult to deal with? But no matter how fierce he is, can he be fiercer than the Spirit Vulture Palace on Misty Peak?"

Upon hearing this, the Dharma Protector agreed and quickly withdrew.

Zhong Ling felt a chill run down her spine.

At this moment, she finally understood that her father Zhong Wanchou's reputation could not save her.

Fortunately, she was always pragmatic and didn't try to put on a brave face even when she was in a vulnerable position. She immediately shouted for help.

Xie Buruo then stepped forward, reached out and touched her shoulder to release her pressure points.

Sikong Xuan sneered, "This kid is far too arrogant."

As he spoke, he secretly channeled his poisonous power and struck out with a palm.

Xie Buruo neither dodged nor avoided the blow, and exchanged a palm strike with him.

Sikong Xuan felt a sharp pain in his palm and retreated in pain, feeling as if the other person's palm was made of refined iron.

"Young man, your palm strike is quite powerful, but unfortunately you've been struck by my poisonous palm strike and your life is nearing its end."

As they were talking, Xie Buruo had already released Zhong Ling's acupoints.

He remained calm and composed, showing no signs of poisoning whatsoever.

Sikong Xuan looked at his hands again; they were still fair, and he was speechless.

When his poison palm strike proved ineffective, he realized a formidable enemy had arrived.

Just as he was about to order his men to swarm forward, Xie Buruo said, "Chief Sikong, may I speak with you in private?"

Sikong Xuan was filled with doubt and uncertainty. He knew that this person's martial arts were too high, and that his own poison palm was useless. He also knew that the poison powder and poison used by his gang would probably be ineffective.

After a slight hesitation, he followed Xie Buruo to the side.

Xie Bu Ruo took a cloth bag from his bosom and tossed it over.

Sikong Xuan was puzzled and cautiously opened the door.

Inside were small grasses with green stems and leaves, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

It is the Tongtian Grass, unique to the forbidden area of ​​Wuliang Mountain.

Xie should stay in Langhuan Paradise these days, where there are Heavenly Grasses everywhere, and it's not difficult to gather them.

Sikong Xuan suffered from the torment of the Life and Death Talisman for many years, and the Heavenly Grass could alleviate his pain.

Upon seeing this herb, his eyes lit up, and he even changed how he addressed it.

"Young hero, I heard that bookworm, no, Young Master Duan, say that you are all persuaders, advising me not to start a war with the Boundless Sword."

"In truth, I would have preferred this as well."

"Strictly speaking, having witnessed the young hero's skill and been presented with this rare herb, Sikong Xuan should have wisely led his men away. Unfortunately, I am also unable to do as I please."

Sikong Xuanji was reluctant and handed the packet of Tongtian Grass back to Xie Buruo.

They just held on very tightly, refusing to let go.

Xie Bu Ruo saw this and was secretly pleased. He then took out another white jade medicine bottle.

Sikong Xuan found it strange, wondering what kind of mystery he was playing.

Xie Buruo uncorked the bottle and poured out a yellow pill.

Upon seeing this object, Sikong Xuan trembled all over.

He was very familiar with these pills.

Whenever the Life and Death Talisman flares up, this item is needed to relieve the pain and itching.

However, the one in front of him seemed to be smaller than any he had ever seen before.

Sikong Xuan's forehead was beaded with sweat: "So, young hero, you're from Misty Peak. Were you deliberately testing me just now?"

Xie Buruo shook his head: "Since Chief Sikong is being controlled by others, hasn't he thought of developing his own antidote formula?"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Xuan repeatedly said he dared not.

He was tormented by the Life and Death Talisman; how could he not want to?

However, the Spirit Palace only provides one antidote each time, which is barely enough to keep one alive.

Where would we find the time to study the properties of medicinal herbs and refine the formula?

Moreover, the medical skills of the Spirit Palace are miraculous, and the antidote is complex to prepare.

Even though Sikong Xuan was well-versed in medicine and poisons, it would be extremely difficult for him to replicate it.

Xie Ruo took out another prescription.

Sikong Xuan glanced at the prescription and was immediately shocked.

The list above contains countless rare medicinal herbs.

One of them is the Tongtian grass.

Sikong Xuan glanced at it and realized that the medicines on it were all for relieving pain and itching.

Xie Buruo added, "These medicinal herbs are not easy to find, but the Shennong Gang has always monopolized the medicinal herb business in Tiannan. Apart from the Tongtian Grass, it is not difficult to gather the rest."

Sikong Xuan stared blankly into space, muttering, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult. The difficulty lies in the ratio of ingredients and the timing of the refining process."

Xie Bu Ruo smiled slightly, then took out a second prescription and slowly waved it in front of him.

Although Sikong Xuan couldn't see it clearly, he could tell that the prescription was extraordinary, and his body trembled even more violently.

"Did you devise this prescription, young hero?"

Xie Buruo nodded with a smile: "Indeed, it was created by me!"

In fact, it's completely wrong.

This prescription was devised by Physician Xue and Xuan Yin from the Medicine King Academy.

Ever since he saw Xie Buruo's antidote for the Life and Death Talisman, Doctor Xue has been obsessed with it.

He was so obsessed with medicine that he neglected to eat and sleep.

The antidote had complex ingredients and was even more complicated to make, which piqued his curiosity.

Xuan Yin and Doctor Xue have the same personality.

When Xie Bu Ruo practiced his skills, the two of them would get together, take the antidote, study its properties, and refine the process and formula.

The two buried themselves in trying different combinations, but failed four times in total.

On the fifth attempt, they finally produced the finished product, which had about 70-80% of the original's efficacy.

However, repeated experiments consumed a lot of rare medicinal materials from Shaolin Temple.

The monk Xuanyin was also held accountable by the disciplinary office for wasting medicinal herbs.

He was deemed disloyal and dishonest to Buddha and is still in prison next to Polo Star.

The original drug was obtained from Xie Buruo, so he naturally knew about Doctor Xue's research on the prescription.

Seeing that the task was successfully completed, Xie Buruo, who was half a disciple of the divine physician, asked for the formula and a few trial pills to carry with him.

Many of the medicinal materials in the prescription are not easy to obtain.

However, this was not a difficult task for the Shennong Gang, who monopolized the Tiannan medicinal herb market.

Sikong Xuan had no shortage of medicinal materials, only a lack of antidote.

Xie should talk to him now about exchanging medicine for medicine, thus resolving their dilemma.

He took out a prototype pill and handed it to the other party.

"As for the results, I dare not speak presumptuously. This matter is of great importance, Chief, and we must not let the news leak out."

Sikong Xuan's eyes were red with excitement as he carefully accepted the gift.

"Young Master Xie, what are you saying!"

"If this matter were to leak even slightly, Sikong Xuan would be the first to lose his head. How dare we spread rumors!"

"As for the medicine's effects? I've survived a hundred near-death experiences; I'm already incredibly lucky to have even a sliver of hope. What more could I possibly ask for?"

"Thank you, young hero, for saving me. Your kindness is like giving me a second life. From this day forward, Sikong Xuan is willing to serve you, young hero, even unto death."

Xie was slightly taken aback when he heard "to serve them without regret even if it means dying a hundred times", and then he thought of the strange white jade statue.

If you have the chance, you should definitely try to see what's so strange about this statue!

He composed himself, asked Sikong Xuan for some Heartbreak Powder, and then casually asked a question.

"Chief, you are an expert in poisons. Do you know the habits of the Manggu Toad?"

When Sikong Xuan heard that he wanted to touch such a potent poison, he first tried to dissuade him, but when the other party did not listen, he said again.

"I am only skilled in the poisons of plants and trees. Among the poisons of the Manggu Toad, the one most familiar with in the southern region is none other than ————"

As he said this, he glanced at Zhong Ling, who was straining her ears to eavesdrop.

Xie Buruo understood: "It seems this matter still falls to Zhong Wanchou."

He then gave Sikong Xuan a few more instructions.

Sikong Xuan nodded repeatedly: "Young hero, rest assured, there are still a few days left on the deadline at Misty Peak, I will handle it myself."

After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered all the Shennong gang members to evacuate.

Duan Yu repeatedly praised, "I never imagined that Brother Xie was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had such remarkable eloquence. With just a few words, he made the Shennong Gang back down."

Zhong Ling, with more experience in the martial arts world than Duan Yu, absolutely refused to believe it.

She figured that since the two had been talking for so long, they must have made some kind of secret deal.
